He Quit His Job to Serve the Homeless, Now Rahul Singh Is The Ray Of Hope For 78+ Seniors
Project
"Throw me in the well and leave me to die; there's no point living now," a homeless elderly person had said to Rahul Singh when he asked her how she came to be living on the streets. Her son had abandoned her due to her age and considered her a burden. She was ill, starving, and completely helpless, and Rahul was determined to help her. Today, she receives healthy meals, care, and compassion from the Homeless Care Foundation.
"We come across so many elderly people like her whose children or family have either abandoned them or have left the country without them. They live in terrible conditions - either on the streets or in a small hut with not much to call their own. Some of them can't even move because they're so weak and old."
Rahul then decided to start the Homeless Care Foundation in 2020, while millions of people grappled with the virus, hunger, and homelessness. He even quit his government job to focus entirely on his mission, and there has been no looking back since.
About the NGO: The Homeless Care Foundation was established in 2020 with a mission to provide essential support to homeless individuals and animals. Their primary focus is on delivering hygienic and nutritious food to those in need, including impoverished patients and their caregivers outside hospitals. They also rescue abandoned individuals and senior citizens found in dire conditions on the streets, relocating them to old age homes or shelters where they can receive proper care. Additionally, the organization offers medical treatment to homeless people and animals, ensuring they receive the necessary healthcare and attention. Through these initiatives, they strive to create a compassionate community where every individual, regardless of their circumstances, receives the care and support they deserve.
